He would have been pissed off, and he would have walked downstairs in the Corcoran and got in some peoples faces, but he wouldn't have lost his temper. That's how I felt yesterday, but today I pussied out and was diplomatic on the phone with them. Which I don't regret.<BR/>I said it was some consolation that they were holding a special preview event for the artists on Saturday at 4pm, but were they going to provide the artist's contact info to any interested parties at the fundraiser? I was told "the steering committee" was working on that, which sounds promising, but not definite. So any participating artists who read this and feel the same way, PLEASE call the membership office and voice your request to have our contact info provided to interested collectors or inquirers. If they only hear from me they'll think I'm a jackass, if they hear it from two people they may think it's maybe a valid request, but if three or more ask, then maybe it will get done. If they do this for us, then I would be consoled.Steve Hayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09702915915913292899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5951361.post-73615112322724369122008-05-08T16:39:00.000-04:002008-05-08T16:39:00.000-04:00Lenny,I really like how you just presented their t...Lenny,<BR/>I really like how you just presented their two emails without any commentary and letting the emails speak for themselves. That is art.<BR/>However, I will inject a little opinion in this, without even divulging my own opinion. As a participating artist in this event I have emailed with a number of the participating artists and their feelings vary from being downright furious, to merely disappointed, to even being happy for the Corcoran that the event was such an overwhelming success that space restrictions prevent them from allowing the artists admission.Steve Hayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09702915915913292899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5951361.post-32376075772972452212008-05-08T13:52:00.001-04:002008-05-08T13:52:00.001-04:00As a Corcoran graduate -- UGH!As a Corcoran graduate -- UGH!Chris Combshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18037737223928568115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5951361.post-14822291764523824532008-05-08T13:52:00.000-04:002008-05-08T13:52:00.000-04:00Lenny - I would like to hear your thoughts on this...Lenny - I would like to hear your thoughts on this development, I also got the emails.
